Pascua

[granca]

Totally confused! spanishdictionary.com says that Pasqua is el and is a feminine noun but half a dozen Dominicanos I've asked say " No, its la Pasqua.
Spanishdictionary. com makes it even more confusing by saying that "felices Pasquas is singular and means Merry Christmas.
Its complicated enough learning the language but if I don't understand the logic its even worse.
What's the answer, please?

It is feminine. Felices Pascuas means both, Happy Easter and Merry Christmas. If you can read Spanish, here's the definition from the Real Academia Espa?ola:

It is la Pascua according to the R.A.E. There are actually several different Pascuas:

1. Pascua de la Resurecci?n - Easter
2. Pascua de los Hebreos - Passover
3. Pascua del Esp?ritu Santo - Pentecost (which is also called Pent?costes)

I'm hiding Easter eggs for my senile neighbor. Actually "egg", since when she finds it, I just go hide it in the same place again.

Thanks all but do I use it with EL or LA or what?

As I said in my post, it is LA Pascua.
